Quoting FI642 (Reply 7):World would be better to stay with an all white fleet, rather than go to this!

"Hey! What's that mothballed MD-11 doing over there?"

"It's not mothballed...it belongs to World Airways."

I think THAT is what's wrong with an all-white fleet. I like the new livery and hope someone--anyone--clicks a picture when one of them comes through Bangor, Maine on a troop charter...as they do several times each week.

1. they have to be painted eventually anyways
2. they found that employee moral was boosted by the retro paint job.
3. I belive the design was done in house by salaried employees
4. We've had 13 consecutive profitable quarters and last year was our most profitable yet so we have plenty to cover the minimal cost.
5. We are trying to expand our customer base beyond military flying more memorable look may help generate some business and build our corporate identity.
